Nano-influencers are the smallest influencers, with between 1,000 and 10,000 followers. They’re usually bloggers or Instagrammers who have built their following by posting content that resonates with their audience. Nano-influencers can be micro or macro influencers (see below).

Micro-Influencers

Micro-influencers are more likely to build a personal connection with their audience, which is vital when trying to get your target customer’s attention. They also engage with their audience more frequently and engage in conversations beyond the typical “like” or share buttons on Facebook or Instagram.

Micro-influencers have a smaller audience, but they can be more effective than larger-scale accounts because they can connect with people individually through unique content creation and engagement opportunities like live broadcasts or Q&As (questions and answers). This small size allows micro-influencers posts to stand out as fresh content from an individual perspective—making them seem more authentic!

Macro influencers are one step up from micro-influencers. You might be wondering if there’s a difference between micro and macro influencers. After all, both terms refer to someone with a large following on social media like Instagram or Twitter. But the difference lies in how many followers an individual has.

Mega influencers

Mega-influencers are the biggest group of influencers having over one million followers. Mega Influencers have millions of followers but can still be considered influential if they have engaged audiences and high levels of interaction.

A macro influencer has more than 1 million followers and is often paid for their posts too! They also tend to be celebrities or high-level public figures (or both).

The size of an influencer’s audience (followers) is one of many factors determining their influence. It’s also important to pay attention to other factors, like whether their audience is genuinely engaged with an influencer.

The size of the audience doesn’t matters when it comes to the quality of the engagement. If you have a large audience but less engagement, you will need help with growth and ROI because people need to come back for more content from you. But if you do something interesting, create high-quality content that appeals directly to your followers’ interests and values. There’s no reason those people won’t repeatedly return and tell their friends about what they’ve seen on Twitter or Facebook!
